"It is a basic skill for a general to assess the situation and make full use of one's own advantages to attack the enemy! Although you and I have been here for nearly a year, there are still many things to learn! A war cannot be won by relying on the courage of an ordinary man.

Yes! You people must remember that if there are three people walking together, there must be one of our own. You must pay more attention to the strengths of others and absorb and use them. General Hu is much better than us in commanding troops! If this battle can be successful,

If so, then we should go to Zaoyang to meet again and we will never finish the competition!" Gao Huaiyuan stood watching the movement in the east direction of the river while giving instructions to the young men around him who had followed him out of Crouching Tiger Village.

"Yes! Boss! We all remember it! Hehe!" Huang Yan was talkative. After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, he immediately answered.

The rest of the young men also responded one after another. Now they all hold important positions in the village barracks. Although they are young, they have won the respect of the village heroes. After more than ten years of tempering, each of them has become a soldier.

They all have a young and mature look, and their behavior is quite rough, but once they take action, they all exude a murderous aura.

"You go down and check the preparations of your respective men. We were put behind by General Hu in this battle. It is because of his trust in us. You must not underestimate the enemy. You must obey orders and do not act without authorization and ruin the event.

!" After Gao Huaiyuan saw that the Song Army in the east of Hedong had begun to engage in battle with the Jin Army, he immediately gave instructions to the teenagers around him.

For a long time, whenever there was an opportunity, Gao Huaiyuan would gather these teenagers together and explain to them the strategies used in each battle. This time was no exception. During the free time before the battle, he gave them some advice.

After a lesson, and seeing that the battle was approaching, they were ordered to return to their respective teams to make final preparations.

After Hu Zaixing led his troops across the river, he was quickly discovered by the Jin army. Wanyan Azheng was depressed to death and worried that he could not annihilate the Song army in one fell swoop. After hearing that the Song army was crossing the river to attack, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered his troops and horses.

He left the camp and rushed toward the Song army.

Five thousand Jin troops versus two thousand Song troops. It seemed that the Jin army had an absolute advantage on the battlefield. Therefore, the Jin army, which had been depressed for many days, seemed to have good morale. Under the leadership of Wanyan'a, the entire army rushed forward aggressively, intending to attack in one fell swoop.

After dealing with the Song army that was resurrected by Hu Zaixing, the Jin army formed a wild goose formation and outflanked the Song army.

Hu Zaixing immediately led his troops, transformed into a circular formation, and established the position. The two armies immediately started a fight in the Hedong area.

Although Wanyan'a had a big appetite, he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of Hu Zaixing's army. Although he repeatedly launched his army against Hu Zaixing's army and launched several attacks, Hu Zaixing's army firmly held the position and repulsed his offensive with random arrows.

The defensive function of the circular formation was fully utilized, so that the Jin army was unable to do anything against them for a while, but was killed a lot by the Song army.

This battle lasted for a whole morning, and neither side could do anything to defeat the other. After all, the Jin Army had a numerical advantage, and their army was also an elite force that Wanyan Sai could not control. Therefore, the Song Army was fighting fiercely.

After a while, a bit of chaos gradually appeared, and they gradually began to retreat towards the ferry.

Wanyan'a saw the Song army gradually retreating, so he was overjoyed: "Blow the drums to send the order, and the whole army will attack. This time, no matter what, I can't let go of this damn Song army. I'll kill them all!"

As the rumble of war drums sounded, the Jin army began to launch a fierce attack. Hu Zaixing's army finally could not withstand the pressure of the Jin army and began to gradually retreat, showing the appearance of defeat.

Finally, under the heavy pressure of the Jin army, the Song army finally began to retreat. They swarmed onto the ferry, rushed across several makeshift pontoon bridges, and fled to the west of the river with a roar.

Hu Zaixing personally led an elite force of more than 300 people, retreated from the rear, and blocked the Jin soldiers from rushing forward several times, so as not to end up with the whole army annihilated. After seeing that most of the Song army had crossed the river, Hu Zaixing led the army.

Withdrew to Hexi.

At this time, the Jin army followed the Song army and chased it to the river. For fear that the Song army would demolish the pontoon bridge after withdrawing across the river, they fought fiercely with Hu Zaixing for a while at the head of the bridge.

Hu Zaixing was unable to fight with all his strength, so he had to abandon the pontoon bridge and led his army to flee towards the west of the river.

After seeing the Song army defeated and crossing the river, Wanyan'a was so happy that he looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "I can't be more prosperous! Let my whole army cross the river quickly. This time, nothing can be done to let this guy escape again!"

I will send my order to those who take down the soldiers and raise their heads again. I will reward you with hundreds of coins. Give it to me!"

But one of his counselors suddenly advised him: "General, it is better to be careful. I see that although the Song army was defeated, it was not in chaos. Maybe this time it is another trick of the Song army. The general should send a battalion first."

He will give it a try before talking!"

"Tch! The Song army only has this small number of troops. I have already sent people to investigate. The number of the Song army is only three thousand, and now most of them have retreated. Even if there is an ambush, what can I do? The opportunity is rare, don't do it again

Say more! Cross the river with the entire army and pursue Hu Zaixing! Move faster!" Wanyan'a didn't take the counselor's words to heart at all.

And the counselor thought about it, Hu Zaixing didn't have many soldiers and horses. It could be said that he had used up all his best troops in this battle, and it was impossible to get many more reinforcements, so he stopped trying to persuade Wanyan'a and followed Wanyan'a's words.

Under the order, thousands of Jin troops rushed to cross the pontoon bridge and cross the river, preparing to pursue Hu Zaixing's troops.

Gao Huaiyuan was hidden in the bushes, staring slightly nervously at the movements of the Jin army in the direction of the ferry. He held one of his hard bows in one hand, with a few arrows wrapped in oilcloth beside him, and the other archers

They each prepared a few rockets, and looked nervously through the dense bushes at the Jin army rushing to cross the pontoon in the direction of the ferry.

The Jin army did not realize that they were hiding in a few bushes within a stone's throw of several pontoon bridges. Hundreds of Song troops were actually hiding in them. They were just staring at the Song troops who were escaping all the way to the west. They were happy, and the army rushed across the pontoon bridge.

, the swaying pontoon swayed from side to side, and people were squeezed off the pontoon from time to time. The soldiers in iron armor didn't even have time to shout for help, and then they sank like weights into the river two or three people deep.

There were only a bunch of bubbles left on the water.

Scenes like this happened from time to time, and the scene was somewhat chaotic. The Jin army, who was not good at water, was so frightened that he had to slow down to cross the river, so as not to be squeezed into the river by his own people and drowned alive.

Gao Huaiyuan silently counted the number of Jin troops crossing the river. Seeing that the Jin troops were nearly halfway across the river, he suddenly lowered his voice and gave the order: "Light the fire!"

Xiang Yong, who was in charge of lighting the fire, took out the tinder in his arms, flicked it, and lit the torch. Rockets tied with oilcloth or gunpowder were immediately stretched out to the torch and ignited.

"Shoot!" After Gao Huaiyuan shouted, as soon as he finished speaking, the archers of the rural soldiers stood up from behind the bushes, opened their bows with all their strength, and aimed their arrows at the pontoon bridges crowded with golden soldiers.

, immediately loosened the string and shot out the rockets one after another.

The sudden change immediately startled the Jin army. Suddenly a group of Song troops appeared around them, which was not a good thing for them, so the Jin army immediately started to get into chaos.

No one noticed anything strange on the pontoon under their feet, but some people slightly smelled some grease in the air, but they did not realize that the wooden boards and branches on the pontoon had long been soaked with kerosene.

After the archers of the local soldiers fired a volley of fire, the golden soldiers on the pontoon had no way to hide. Many of them were hit by arrows on the spot and fell into the cold river water.

However, more arrows were not shot at the crowd on the pontoon bridge, but were shot at the pontoon bridge. After the arrows were nailed to the wooden planks of the pontoon bridge, a burst of fire immediately erupted.

At this time, Wanyan Aye had just stepped onto the bridge. He rode on a horse and walked halfway across the pontoon bridge. The front and back were crowded with golden soldiers. When he saw the rockets flying in the sky, he was a little shocked at first. Then when he saw the rockets flying in the sky,

After the sudden fire, I suddenly understood.

"No! You've fallen into a trap! Damn it, get back! Get back..." The panicked Wanyan'a immediately waved the iron gun in his hand and shouted wildly to signal his golden soldiers to retreat to the east of the river.

But at this time, when the army was halfway across the river, how could he retreat with just one word? As the dense rockets fell, several pontoon bridges burst into flames, and thick smoke immediately rose into the sky.

The Jin soldiers crowded on the bridge suddenly became confused, and the flames licked the Jin soldiers on the bridge like the core of a poisonous snake. The Jin soldiers pushed me to avoid the flames, but in such a chaotic situation, not only did they not

Although they were able to avoid the tongue of fire, many Jin soldiers were pushed into the river by their colleagues and immediately sank with bubbles.

More golden soldiers were ignited by the fire and their armor was burned. They screamed and jumped around on the bridge, and then plunged into the river. They would rather drown in the water than be killed by the fire alive.

Burned to death.

The Jin soldiers crossing the river were so disturbed that they immediately panicked. They didn't know how many Song army ambush troops were deployed around them, and without unified command, they didn't know what to do. Should they charge or hurry up?

They turned around and ran back to Hedong. They ran out of ideas for a while and crowded in a noisy crowd by the river. No one led the army to rush towards the bushes where Gao Huaiyuan and his fellow soldiers were hiding.

The chaos of the Jin army was a great help to Gao Huaiyuan. After seeing the pontoon bridge on fire, he immediately ordered the archers to turn their target to the Jin soldiers who had crossed the river, and began to hunt the Jin soldiers. He ran to the place where several crossbows were hidden.

place, he shouted to his men who had already prepared: "Fire the arrows!"

So several soldiers in charge of the attack immediately hit the machine with their hammers. After a few heart-shaking muffled sounds, a fluffy jackdaw arrow flew out from several bushes and hit the bridge head.

The golden soldiers were in chaos.

When Gao Huaiyuan set up these bed crossbows, he installed cylinders on the crossbow strings instead of using giant arrows, in order to increase the lethality of people, so after one shot,

Hundreds of featherless arrows were fired, and they were as dense as wasps emerging from their nests. They immediately swept across a large area and shot down a group of golden soldiers crowded at the bridge.

At such a close distance, it is almost like shooting from the nose. No matter how powerful the Jin soldiers are, they cannot stop such sharp arrows. The arrows carry huge inertia. After hitting the Jin soldiers, there is no way to stop them.

The feather arrows even directly penetrated the bodies of the Jin soldiers, and even the people behind them were not spared. Therefore, just one shot caused huge damage to the dense Jin soldiers.

"Keep winding! Huang Yan, Zhou Hao, Ergou... you charge with me! The archers continue to suppress the Jin soldiers!" After Gao Huaiyuan saw that the Jin army was in complete chaos, he immediately dropped the hard bow in his hand and took it.

He grabbed the Mo Dao in Zhou Hao's hand, roared wildly, and rushed out of the bushes to kill the Jin army.

Huang Yan, Zhou Hao and others immediately obeyed the order and took the spearmen and shield soldiers among the rural soldiers to follow Gao Huaiyuan. They rushed out of the bush and rushed towards the Jin army.

This time was really enough for the Jin army to drink a pot. Gao Huaiyuan and others were like tigers coming out of the gate, breaking into the crowd of Jin soldiers, using swords and guns to chop melons and vegetables, and started a massacre.

Poor General Wanyan of the Jin Army, he originally wanted to completely kill Hu Zaixing and achieve great success, but he didn't expect that as soon as he reached the bridge, he was ambushed by the Song Army, who set the pontoon on fire. He was squeezed on the horse in the middle of the bridge, unable to move forward or retreat, and the fire burned

At the same time, the war horse was immediately frightened and stood up without hesitation. Then the war horse, which was hurt by the fire, jumped into the water and lifted Wanyan'a off its back.

Wanyan'a wore two layers of iron armor, imitating the ancestors of the Jurchens, imagining them to be as fierce and invulnerable, but now it has become a deadly object, with dozens of kilograms of iron armor wrapped around his body, not to mention that this guy can't swim.

, even though he was a good swimmer, he couldn't stop being dragged into the water by his armor, so he only had time to shout: "Help..."

A large amount of river water gurgled into his big mouth, and then sank like a lump of iron. However, his personal soldiers couldn't even take care of themselves at the moment, so they had no time to save him.

He, who was burned by the fire, jumped into the river one after another, followed him and sank to the bottom of the river, and went to the underworld to pay homage to their ancestor, Comrade Wanyan Aguda!

As soon as Wanyan'a fell into the water, the Jin army completely lost its command. A fire had been ignited on the bridge, and soon it was deserted. The Jin soldiers on the bridge were either burned to death by the fire or jumped into the water and drowned. Only a few of them died.

They had time to escape to both sides of the river, but the entire Jin army was cut into two sections by the river. The Jin soldiers in the east of the river watched helplessly as the Jin soldiers in the west of the river were massacred by the Song army, but they could not help at all.

The Jin soldiers in Hexi saw that the pontoon bridge was broken, and it was impossible to retreat to the east of Hedong. Moreover, some Jin soldiers saw that although there were Song ambush troops here, the number of ambush troops was not too large, so they recovered slightly from the panic.

After a while, he began to organize the Jin army in Hexi to resist Gao Huaiyuan and his party.

The two sides started a fight on the Hexi embankment. Although Gao Huaiyuan took the initiative and killed many Jin soldiers, his overall number of soldiers was much smaller than that of the Jin soldiers.

Once the Jin soldiers got a little better at it, they would no longer be able to kill as happily as they did at the beginning. Fortunately, the Jin army did not have a unified command at the moment. Otherwise, as long as there was a counterattack, Gao Huaiyuan and the hundreds of

I'm afraid the country soldiers will have to explain themselves here.

However, Gao Huaiyuan was not nervous, because he knew that Hu Zaixing would soon return with his troops, so he waved his sword to fight the Jin soldiers while loudly ordering his men to form a formation to fight against the Jin soldiers.

Not long after, I heard the sound of people shouting and horses neighing from the west. After seeing the pontoon on fire, Hu Zaixing immediately gathered his troops and horses, turned around and rushed back.

After Hu Zaixing led his army to arrive, the battle situation in Hexi completely turned to the Song Army. Whether it was morale or strength, the Song Army had an absolute advantage. It only took about a stick of incense to defeat a large number of Jin soldiers.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, they all threw down their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender.

Gao Huaiyuan saw the Jin soldiers in front of him kneeling down and surrendering, so he ordered his men not to continue killing. In his eyes, although these people in front of him were Jin soldiers, they were also human beings, and among these Jin soldiers, most of them were

Most of them were Han people who were conscripted by the Jin Kingdom. They were born from the same roots. Surrender was enough, so he ordered his subordinates to collect the Jin soldiers, drive them together, and keep them under guard.

"High command! The general has an order, no surrender troops will be left behind! Kill them all!" When Gao Huaiyuan was arranging his men to collect the surrender troops, a soldier from Hu Zaixing's tent rushed over on horseback and gave Gao Huaiyuan the order.

After Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he was immediately shocked and shouted to Hu Zaixing's personal soldier: "No! They have already surrendered! Why should we kill them?"

This soldier did not dare to scold Gao Huaiyuan, so he raised his hands on his horse and said: "The general said that leaving these surrender troops will only be a disaster. We are about to cross the river to pursue the Jin army. We have no time to care about them, so we might as well kill them all."

Pull it down! Commander, please do it quickly! We will build a bridge to cross the river soon!"

Gao Huaiyuan became anxious when he heard this, and immediately shook his head and said: "Absolutely not! Since these Jin soldiers have surrendered, we cannot kill the prisoners. I will go to General Hu personally to tell this matter! Zhou Hao, please watch over me.

These surrendered troops must not be allowed to cause chaos! I will come as soon as I go!"

The soldier who was delivering the order was a little unhappy when he saw Gao Huaiyuan not obeying the order, but he didn't say much. The surrounding Song troops had now received the order, so they began to kill the Jin soldiers who had put down their weapons, screaming in agony.

Sounds, wailings, and begging for mercy suddenly echoed across Hexi. One by one, the surrendered soldiers were killed one after another on the river embankment by the wolf-like and tiger-like officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, brandishing swords and spears.

Gao Huaiyuan couldn't bear it in his heart. In his opinion, the two armies could not help but be a little soft-hearted when killing the enemy in front of the formation, but such a massacre of surrendered troops was undoubtedly an act of bestiality. The feud between the Song and Jin Dynasties was true, but these surrendered troops were not to blame.

Not to mention that many of them were forced to join the army to invade the Southern Song Dynasty. Even if they volunteered to be soldiers, it was just for a bite of food. Moreover, most of these people were Han Chinese like him.

, it is really too much to massacre them like this.dd
